Edge of Seventeen

Lyrics

Just like the white winged doveSings a songSounds like she's singingWho who whoJust like the white winged doveSings a songSounds like she's singingOh baby oh said oh

And the days go byLike a strand in the windIn the web that is my ownI begin againSaid to my friend, babyNothin' else mattered

He was no more than a baby thenWell he seemed broken heartedSomething within himBut the moment that I first laidEyes on him all aloneOn the edge of seventeen

Just like the white winged doveSings a songSounds like she's singingOh baby oh said ohJust like the white winged doveSings a song Sounds like she's singingOh baby oh. said oh

I went today maybe I will go againTomorrowAnd the music there it was hauntinglyFamiliarAnd I see you doing What I try to do for meWith the words from a poetAnd the voice from a choirAnd a melody nothing else mattered

Just like the white winged doveSings a songSounds like she's singingOh baby oh said ohJust like the white winged doveSings a songSounds like she's singingOh baby oh said oh

The clouds never expect itWhen it rainsBut the sea changes colorsBut the sea Does not changeAnd so with the slow graceful flowOf ageI went forth with an age oldDesire to pleaseOn the edge of seventeen

Just like the white winged doveSings a songSounds like she's singingOh baby oh said ohJust like the white winged doveSings a songSounds like she's singingOh baby oh said oh

Well then suddenly There was no one left standingIn the hall yeah yeahIn a flood of tears That no one really ever heard fall at allOh I went searchin' for an answer,Up the stairs and down the hallNot to find an answerJust to hear the callOf a nightbird singingCome away come away

Just like the white winged doveSings a songSounds like she's singingOh baby oh said ohJust like the white winged doveSings a songSounds like she's singingOh baby oh said oh

Well I hear you in the morningAnd I hear youAt nightfallSometime to be near youIs to be unable to hear youMy loveI'm a few years older than you

Just like the white winged doveSings a songSounds like she's singingOh baby oh said oh
